log4j basic configuration

Question

I used log4j to log some steps in my application. To be quick and dirty, I used:

org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator.configure(); 

This output my logs in the Eclipse console.

I want to know if and how to set the level threshold higher than DEBUG? In other word, I do not want to display DEBUG level message, just ERR, WARN, INFO.

Thank you.

EDIT: May I use this following?

import org.apache.log4j.Logger; import org.apache.log4j.Level; [...] Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.class); logger.setLevel(Level.INFO); 

Answer 1

I think the simplest way would be:

    Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.INFO);
